Rotary Watches
Introduction
Congratulations on choosing a Rotary watch.
Rotary was originally established in 1895 in Switzerland’s, La Chaux de
Fonds region; the cradle of watchmaking. It was here that Rotary would
develop the key values which have endured today.
Now based in London, meticulous design, superb build quality and
exceptional value for money are still key.
To ensure that your watch operates for as long as possible, please pay
attention to the advice provided throughout this manual.

Screw Down Crowns
Rotary Watches
Setting the Time - Screw Down Crown
Some Rotary watches have a Screw Down Crown. Before making any
adjustments, the crown must rst be unscrewed into position‘II’.
This then allows the crown to be set into position‘A’ or ‘B’.
Please Note:
Forcefully pulling the crown in an outward direction without
unscrewing could result in serious damage to the watch.
After any operation, ensure that the crown is screwed back into
position ‘I’

Setting the Time
Please take into account the information on ‘Page 5 ’ if your watch
has a screw down crown.
Day/ Date
In order to set the day or date of your Rotary watch, the crown must be
in position ‘A’. Rotating the crown clockwise in this position changes the
day and anti-clockwise changes the date.
Time
In order to set the time, the crown must be in position ‘B’. This will allow
you to rotate the hands until the correct time is shown.
Please note that after any operation, the crown must be securely
returned to its resting position.

Automatic Watches
Automatic Watches
Automatic Rotary watches do not require batteries. A self-winding
device keeps the watch in operation whilst it is being worn.
When o of the wrist, it will continue to function for between 24 to 48
hours. To restart the watch after this time, change the time manually
and wind the crown 20 times clockwise.
An easy way to tell if your watch is automatic
is to check whether it has a counterweight.
Highlighted in green is the counterweight
which helps to maintain the power level of the
watch, this can be most easily be seen with
models with an open caseback.

Mechanical Watches
Mechanical Rotary watches do not require batteries. In order to remain
in continuous operation, Mechanical models must be wound by hand
regularly.
To do this, rotate the crown clockwise until it feels tight. We recommend
that the watch is wound daily to maintain its power reserve.
Please Note:
Both automatic and mechanical watches can lose or gain up to 20
seconds a day and still be 99% accurate.
Please Note:
For automatic models, the movement of the wearer determines how
well the power is maintained. For example, wearing an automatic watch
whilst asleep does not guarantee sucient movement to ‘charge’the
watch eectively.

Section SectionAdditional Functions
Chronograph - Simple Timing
Chronographs allow for precise timekeeping through a stopwatch function.
Simple Timing - Allows the measurement of isolated events
Button ‘I’ begins the stopwatch. Pressing Button‘I’ again pauses the
measurement. Pressing button ‘II’ resets the stopwatch.
You can add consecutive events to the timing without pressing reset in
between. This will provide a running total timing.
Additional Functions
Chronograph - Split-Timing
Split-Time Function - Allows you to stop the hands to read an
intermediate time, without interrupting timing. When you restart, the
chronograph hands“catch up”to the ongoing elapsed time.
In order to do this, press Button‘I’to begin the operation. Pressing Button
‘II’ stops the timing. Pressing Button ‘II’ will then allow the stopwatch to
continue the operation, catching up with the total elapsed time.
Pressing Button ‘II’will then stop the operation. Pressing Button ‘II’ once
more will reset the timer to“0’00”.

Before making use of the chronograph function, the timing hands must be
reset to 0 (12 o’clock).
For ‘X’chronographs, this can be done by pulling the crown out to position
‘B’ and pressing button ‘I’ (Page 12) until the seconds timer hand returns to
12 o’clock. You must then press button ‘II’ to reset the minutes sub-dial.
For ‘Y’chronographs, this can be done by pulling the crown out to position
‘B’ and pressing either ‘I’ or ‘II’ (Page 12) until the seconds hand timer returns
